7219.22.00.70 - Of a width not exceeding 1575 mm

This HTS category, 7219.22.00.70, specifically covers flat-rolled products of stainless steel that are not further worked than hot-rolled and are not in coils. These products must have a thickness between 4.75 mm and 10 mm, inclusive. The defining characteristic of this particular subcategory is that the width of the stainless steel product does not exceed 1575 mm. This means we are looking at relatively wide sheets or plates, but within a defined upper limit for width.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, consider the width dimension. 7219.22.00.70 applies when the width is 1575 mm or less. In contrast, sibling category 7219.22.00.75 covers products with a width exceeding 1575 mm but not exceeding 1880 mm, while 7219.22.00.80 encompasses products with a width exceeding 1880 mm. Therefore, the precise measurement of the width is the critical factor in differentiating between these closely related classifications.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 7219.22.00.70. Classification under this code is final based on the established criteria of material (stainless steel), form (flat-rolled, not further worked than hot-rolled, not in coils), thickness (4.75 mm to 10 mm), and specifically, a width not exceeding 1575 mm. Importers and exporters should ensure all these physical specifications are met to correctly classify their goods within this precise HTS designation.
